- 1 tablespoon ground coffee
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee Infusion: In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee with 1/4 cup of hot water. Let it steep for 5 minutes, then strain to remove the grounds, leaving you with a coffee concentrate.
- Toast the Hemp Seeds: Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat. Add the hemp seeds and toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same frying pan, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until they become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced celery and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the celery is tender but still crisp.
- Add the Coffee Infusion: Pour the coffee concentrate into the pan with the cooked vegetables. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 2 minutes.
- Season and Serve: Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the toasted hemp seeds over the top and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
